I've unplugged the electricity leading to the stove and that made the lighters stop. Will I have to replace the whole stove or is this fixable? If it is fixable how much am I looking at as far as cost?

Go to the link below for the complete answer. Here is part of the response given.
Try this:
Clean sparking element. Use an old tooth brush or similar item. Brush sparking rod/element to remove any debris. Be sure all ports/holes/slot in burner head are clean. Especially in area where flames must be in constant contact with sparker.
Check the electrical connection at the base of each sparker for a good connections, wiring and cleanliness. Also check the terminal ends at the switches and the spark module.

I don't really have the answer, but the only times I have had the problem clicking was when the humidity in the house has been very high. When humidity goes down, the licking stops. Why? I don't know. Classy lass

All these answers lead up to the same thing, a short. There must be excessive moisture in the elements. That happen to my daughter "sears"
I had to clean it real good, then we waited overnight and I wiped it all off again. I called Sears, they gave me this advice.
It's working again, I told her not to wipe the elements with a wet rag anymore.

Ms. Cambria gets a nod (and a thumbs-up vote) from me. I might another site to visit for a multiplicity of repair tips and general knowledge:
